AI in Film Production: Hollywood's Future According to Bloomberg
Bloomberg Opinion argues that AI will not bury Hollywood, but will force it into a painful restructuring. Generative tools will speed up pre-production, editing, localization and part of VFX work, yet the core of the industry will remain human: scripts, directing, acting and rights to likenesses. The main question is no longer a ban, but the rules of use, oversight, and the new role of specialists inside the production pipeline.
